No, I wouldn't suggest using that. It's just really freaking fun to use XD
That's my Poliwrath's set, I just wanted to throw it out as an annoying option if you like luck XP



For your Poliwrath... if Rain Dance ever seems to conflict with the rest of your team, or you just want to try something unusual, throw Rock Tomb on in place of it.
Lowering your opponent's speed will help with Waterfall's flinch rate.. it's not very powerful, but it should really only be used to give you an edge on speed.

Bulk Up can go nicely as well, especially since Poliwrath's speed means he'll be taking a few hits.

The only other thing I've got... give him a Muscle band over expert belt, it boosts attacks that are super-effective by the same amount as Expert Belt does, only it also boosts your attacks when they're not super effective.
